I would like to see the Andy Rooney commentary on what’s happening at CBS

if I ran a network I would hire all these 60 Minutes people and launch a new show called A Whole Damn Hour

prestige streaming shows need less mid-season episodes featuring only characters we’ve never seen before and won’t see again and more episodes like the Newsradio season finales where the regular cast plays their regular characters in different time periods

more people at a Tuesday afternoon screening of Tuner than were at a Sunday afternoon opening weekend screening of Mando and Grogu. granted today is half off day.

convincing myself that what the world really needs is another subscription newsletter about theme parks by an unemployed man

people get pretty precious about their legos huh

VG&CE’s GOTY for 1989

who’s the most Star Wars of Star Wars guys these days? feel like for 30 years it was a dead heat between Vader and R2-D2 but they’ve done a real good job of devaluing R2

the scene in Speed Racer where a fat kid and a chimp on a sugar high go nuts to the most raging part of “Freebird” was made exclusively for me

if the Speed Racer movie came out 14 years earlier it would’ve had a really cool pinball machine

Speed Racer is another movie where a character who isn’t Mario is dressed like Mario

who else exclusively plays Marathon solo

big Magic the Gathering news for fans of LA car dealer signs

May. R means rewatch.

the future of Minority Report is a scary dystopia of constant surveillance and oppressive advertising but newspapers and magazines still exist so it’s not looking so bad today

first time watching Minority Report. so the futuristic sci-fi psychic visions become hand-wavey video holograms, but the only way to get the actual names of the victims and murderers is by etching them on wooden balls that roll out of a Goldberg machine?

I think it’s cool that weird puppets scampering about in space is exclusively for the 40-and-up crowd now, while the kids are all into Chiwetel Ejiofor hanging out in empty office spaces

they shoot this Widow’s Bay show in Rockport, don’t they

The Boston Boom is my favorite professional lacrosse team

just ordered the Blu Ray of Robot Dreams because I really need to cry more than I already do

a bunch of Minutemen lyrics

…how do you write an “oral history of the Athens music scene” that has quotes from actor Michael Shannon but not Ballard Lesemann, Gordon Lamb, Henry Owings, or anybody from any band that isn’t at least 30 years old

I just let out an excited little yelp when Reva Shayne showed up in Body Heat

I know tapes were still mass produced in 1996 but it’s still weird to think about Odelay on cassette. one of the most “made exclusively for CDs” vibes of any major record.

should pass a law saying a certain kind of guy can’t do politics. you know the kind. just put a photo of Stephen Miller in there so everybody knows exactly who the law is talking about.

just old enough where any movie based on a YouTube series gets an instant “ehhh I’m good” out of me.

when bands go on TV shows to play songs that unexpectedly become TikTok hits decades after release, do they play the whole song or just the 15 seconds TikTok people know

Paste being number one or two on most of Google's "best movies on [insert streamer here]" searches for a decade kept that place in business

y'all can do something with this if you want: what one actor in classic movies would've been replaced by a wrestler if WWE/WWF Studios had made it

Nate Bargatze is great but The Breadwinner looks like a WWE Studios “comedy” from 2010 starring Triple H, two USA Network “stars,” and a multiple Independent Spirit Award nominee

Terry Malts is one of the absolute last bands I’d ever expect to hear on Shoresy

I don’t understand the concept behind the overalls gang in The Warriors. They just wear overalls and striped shirts? One of them wears skates? Two of them look old enough to be the others’ dads? They need to figure out what they do before they come out here.

firming up my plans for Summer Games Fest week, which mostly involve going to Six Flags over Georgia to loop Monster Mansion now that it’s open on weekdays

guy who hasn’t had to buy games for almost 20 years: games are $70 now? what the hell!

I don’t like them replacing every decade, but I can’t wait to see if the ‘60s version of “Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” will go for a Byrdsian folk jangle or an acid rock freak out.

Doesn’t even matter what this was about (ultralounge comps made by capitol records in the 90s), it’s true for everything. There used to be money to make stuff and now it festers in billionaires’ pockets instead of being useful (compiling lounge music into handy cds)

"I don't think you can be 'like a freak.' Either you are or you aren't." –realest shit Tony Schiavone ever said #AEWDynamite

Dunkin’ has always had better donuts than Krispy Kreme. and no, Dunkin’s donuts are not all that good.

kinda wish the tag renewal people would just take my word on the emissions stuff

I love headlines that are basically "actor open to getting paid again"

will never not be deeply, unreasonably annoyed by how the official names are Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and..... Disney California Adventure, with no apostrophe.

gonna choose to believe John Glover’s Bawlmer accent in 52 Pick-Up is just how he really sounds

my favorite holiday

surprising to me how many people don’t know that Megan Ellison’s Annapurna was like the proto-A24 for film nerds circa 2010

between AEW’s first show and the opening of Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland the last week of May 2019 was a pretty good work week.

someone I’m not allowed to reply to mentioned Lewis Grizzard in a thing that @garrettmartin.bsky.social reposted and any time that asshole’s name comes up I need to counteract it with this. youtu.be/ffo0e99HL7c

Lewis Grizzard said he suffered from "Heinekenitis" and "PBR Syndrome." He wrote that in the paper, and they published it.
